For #10, we decided it’s time to highlight a good guy with true good guy actions under his belt. We recently did an interview with Adam August and discussed how he met a homeless man at Starbucks. Through building a friendship, Adam helped this man, Tariq, get a job. He also set up a GoFundMe account. Through these efforts, Tariq was able to make it back home to be with his family in Jamaica.

We created a meme of Adam to showcase his good guy quality.
